Kollywood is a place where there is ample scope for experimentation along with heroes not hesitating to adorn challenging attires – away from their comfort zone. Tamil hero Suriya is one hero who always does this and now his charming brother Karthi is also following the same path!

His latest film Kashmora’s first look poster released and it showed Karthi in a never-seen-before look with vicious eyes and bald headed look. This look reminded the fans of the dreaded Kalakeya look from Rajamouli’s Baahubali. Karthi has been heaped with praises for his tremendous hard work and his stunning makeover for this film! Well comments are already rife that it is not ‘Kaashmora’ but ‘Kalakeya 2’.

Anyways this new age horror Kaashmora written and directed by Gokul is scheduled to be a Diwali release. Music for the film is being composed by Santhosh Narayanan (of Kabali fame).


Rana gives a big twist to Teja

There are many stages to make a film a reality and this is something you should know as a director. While conceiving a gripping story is important, the realistic challenge comes when you have to narrate it to a bankable hero and then manage to get his dates.

This is something even seasoned filmmakers find as a challenge and right now, the noted director Teja seems to be going through it. Apparently, Teja was to do a movie with the towering hunk Daggubati Rana but here is the twist in the tale.

Though Teja has wrapped up the pre production along with the casting, all he is doing right now is waiting for Rana to give his dates. From his end, Rana is reportedly packed with the shooting of Baahubali-2 so unless that is through, he cannot embark on this one. Well, it is wait and watch phase for Teja then.

Victory Venkatesh’s Babu Bangaram opened to full houses on Friday and as per latest trade reports, BB enjoyed highest openings in Venkatesh’s career.

 On the first day, Babu Bangaram collected more than Rs 5.5 Cr (Share) & around Rs 7.2 Cr (Gross) in the two Telugu speaking states with a total of Rs 9 Cr (Gross) and Rs 6.80 Cr (Share) worldwide. However, there is a dip in collections on the second day and the film minted about Rs 4.4 Cr (Share) & Rs 5.6 Cr (Gross) in the two states and around Rs 9.9 Cr (share) & Rs 12.8 Cr (gross) collections worldwide.

 Fortunately the long weekend (with Monday being a holiday on the eve of Independence Day) might add to the advantage of the film where the film is expected to mint around Rs 20 Cr in the first four days. Though the film couldn’t win with content, Venky has scored a solo commercial hit after a long while.


Reason behind Rudhramadevi Oscar recommendation

556612142

The time has come for all the Telugus to beam their chest with pride once again. Till recently it was the magnum opus Baahubali which became the reason and now, it is another movie. We are talking about the historical opus Rudramadevi and this has taken a giant leap.

It is already known that Rudramadevi has got a chance to represent India at the prestigious Oscars and vie for ‘Best Foreign Language Film Award’. While the happiness is high, some rationalists are keen to know why this movie was chosen. Well, here is an inside opinion.

In the beginning of the movie the world famous Marco Polo is seen narrating to one Italian king about Rudramadevi’s story as example. Since it is a historical event and involves Europeans, many will get connected in the western world, hence the film got nominated. While we don’t know whether Marco Polo really spoke about Rudramadevi or not, the entry to Oscar will certainly be a big thing.

As much impact as the magnum opus Baahubali created on your minds, so did the characters in the movie and their performances. One such character is that of Bhallaladeva essayed by the macho hero Daggubati Rana. He is currently busy with the shooting of Baahubali-2.

If the latest reports are to be believed, Rana would be seen repeating the avatar of Bhallaladeva for another project. It doesn’t mean he would be seen in those shining armors and all but we are talking about his brawny physique. This is also for another period movie.

Well, it is for the Tamil movie Madai Thirandhu which is being made on the backdrop of pre independence. It is heard that Rana would be seen in different avatars in this movie and one among them is that of the Bhallaladeva physique. The shooting begins from August 20th onwards.
